Sew: DIY Ruffle Butt Romper

July 30, 2013

Sew: DIY Ruffle Butt Romper

If you remember my post on baby leggings, Mummy Asks good friend Lyz (Hi, Lyz!) recently became a grandmother to little baby girl. Mummy Ask wanted to give a homemade gift too. She is working on some beautiful knitted things (stay tuned) but asĀ  Mummy Ask is learning to sew, sh wanted to stitch something up and what’s cuter than a ruffle butt romper? It’s a nice project for a beginner sewist (not that the leggings are hard but many beginners are not so keen on knit fabrics).
Sew: DIY Ruffle Butt Romper
We started with a store bought romper and then picked out some ruffled lace trim. We bought 2m of each trim for this newborn romper, we didn’t quite use it all. How much trim you’ll need depends on how many rows you do. We started at the bottom, near the top of the leg openings, and stitched the trim on with a lightning bolt stitch (the trim doesn’t stretch but we wanted to avoid breaking the stitches when the garment was stretched). We didn’t cut the trim to size, once one row was sewn on we then cut free from the roll of trim. If you cut before sewing, the fabric may be stretched slightly by the feed dogs and end up fractionally too short. We treated the cut ends of the trim with fray check to keep it from ravelling.

Mummy Ask made the top row shorter for a ballet style effect. I think the end result is so cute! I can just imagine it on and if I can get a pic of that I’ll update this. I’m sure it will look just darling on the wee one. Have you sewn for babies? Any tips, tricks or thoughts to share? Let me know here or on facebook xxx
